anunnaki chapter two part 2
Episode 2
Episode 3
There was a storm
on the way. The clouds of the edge of the distance were black and fat
with thunder and rain. The sky was written in a negative as if by
flashes of light. You could see the opposite of the world with each
flicker of a roar.
"so," said Sam, "it is possible."
"yes," said Teki. "This isn't some monkeys paw's
bullshit I can give you what you want."
Sam - So, tell me again what exactly do I have to do?
Teki - It is simple enough. 1, the world trigger is the word
Anunnaki; after we make a blood covenant, then it will transform you
into a passport. 2 you will stay as a passport for twenty-four hours
or until we visit another part of the zoo. 3 it will take a week if
we don't jump to another section of the zoo for you to be able to
become a passport again. But if we do jump, you will revert to your
natural state (which is to say as you are now). 4 When you are in an
Anunnaki form, you will be a walking demigod, what shape you take and
what it is capable of depends on the person (which is to say you). 5
ounce I enter into a blood covenant with you, then I will rely on you
for protection from you for our travels. My power with fuse with your
soul, and I will be as fragile as you are now. I must emphasize I
will only be able to revert to my pure form and a form that inspires
semblance of similarity to you (or, as you have seen me now).
Sam - OK, I am down, let's get on with it.
Teki took a thumb a pierced it with an index finger claw. Then he
reached out to Sam for her hand. Seeming to hesitate, she finally
reached out, and he poked her thumb with an index claw.
"ouch," she said.
They then grabbed hands with their bleeding thumbs pressed against
one another.
"is that all?" said Sam.
"I am afraid so, now make sure not to the world trigger unless
you or I am in danger. Or I tell you I am ready to leave." Said
Teki.
Sam - What if I leave you behind?
Teki - It doesn't work like that. There is a button that only I can
push. But remember If I die, you lose your power, so it is in your
best interest to keep me alive.
Sam - Damn, you didn't mention that. So when I become an Anun... Use
the world trigger. How will I know how to use my powers?
Teki - You may not have any, besides if you do, they will manifest
themselves organically. And I have seen some who have no powers for
ten years then display a new one (though that is generally in the
presence of another tourist).
Sam - other tourists?
Teki - Yes, Sam, of us, there are many. Also, how do you feel?
Sam - I am okay, I guess. Is there a reason why?
Teki - Nothing, I guess I did my job better than I thought.
Later that day, Sam called the Preacher and told him what he could do
with himself. (hint: it involved fucking off.) Though technically, he
didn't pick up, and she ranted on into the voicemail box.
Teki Tried to persuade her to leave then, but to his frustration, she
felt she needed the closure of telling the Preacher off to his face.
If only cause the last time she offered him any resistance, he forced
himself on to her. He had driven over to her house and raped her. She
still remembers the sudden shift of his persona, from friendly creep
to violent sadist. So she went out to wait for him.
Episode 3
Black clouds overcast, with rain coming down like some kind
conviction of the spirit that gloom was eternal. The world was not
quiet today. The world was a landscape orchestrated by echos on the
tin roof of the front porch. The world was alone in its defiance of
shame in the broken spirit of the young women who sat on the porch:
listening and watching.
An old beat-up truck slinging mud and gravel came up the slight slope
of Sam's driveway. Its roaring grinding and bad muffler the only
thing other than the rain. Red, but crackling away with rust spots.
And a white strip that looked like it was painted with a paint roller
(awkward asymmetrical swerving like an unsteady hand with purpose).
It pulled into the front of the house, with Sam still on the porch
swinging. Uncurious as she was, she seemed different but the same. As
if a new woman, like a woman freshly baptized in the shadow of a God.
One tired leg pushing her gently, the other propped up in the seat
meant for another. The rusty truck stopped, and a man stood there,
opening an umbrella. "hi, Sam." said the preacher.
"You better leave," she warned. The preacher stood there,
not believing, walked up the stairs, and looked at her as she is slow
swinging on the porch swing. "Listen, you little slut,"
said the preacher. He was turning red in the face. But his voice was
calm if desperate as he said, "You are about to be out of the
only road to get what you need. You are about to be out in
withdrawals of the wilderness without any help or path to getting
better. So what your going to do is go inside and suck dick so you
can still get what you need." He grabbed the hair on the back of
her head with his left hand and threw his umbrella to the far end of
the porch (swinging oddly and without grace to the resisting wind).
Smacking her with his right hand so hard she could taste blood, and
burning on her left cheek.
"I am warning you one last time...you better leave."
Furious, he pushed her face against the crotch of his jeans and said.
"you are suitable for one thing, and you are going to do it till
I m tired of you. You." His voice cut off, replaced with a
scream of disbelief and terror. He looked down at the teeth pinching
through the jeans and locking closed on his crotch. And started
hammering her face with a fist of lite desperate punches. And the
eyes that looked into his without fear. Pulling against her teeth, he
felt half a nut splintered with a canine. And the head of his penis
like it had just been sealed in a rapidly closing mousetrap.
When she opened her mouth, her eyes were desperate as his. As
preacher rolled on the ground grabbing at the red stain between his
legs chanting "you crazy fucking bitch." she stood up and
said, "you are, not going to be missed by a single person."
Her voice quivered with fear at what she was doing. Then she looked
at him with pity and said: "I will make it quick." She
whispered the word (the world trigger) "Anunnaki.". And
standing before him was an insect-like ancient astronaut with
armor-like skin that was green and yellow and made you think of a bee
with its giant eyes but with three horns all pointing backward�"making
her face recall a falling star.
She picked him up by his neck and punched his face watching his head
go tumbling and rolling across the yard. The blood was oozing up and
making slick her grip, so the body fell on the porch lifeless, and
she went looking for her friend Teki.
He was sitting at the table reading a paperback copy of Gravity's
Rainbow. When he saw he said, "did you tell him off?" his
legs were crossed at the knees. "No! I killed him." her
voice sounded like it was coming through a distant am station on a
cheap radio.
Teki - Do you feel better? Did you tell him off?
Sam - No! I killed someone.
Teki - We live and learn; if you feel guilty, then don't do it again.
Sam - I killed him do you not fucking get what I am telling you.
Teki - Not quite, it sounds like you are in shock. When people get
power, they change Sam. But they only ever change to there real
character, they transform into whatever their wish was.
Sam - I didn't want to be an addict; I didn't want to be a killer.
Teki - If it makes you feel better or worse, I don't care, but I wish
you weren't a killer, either Sam, but if you are, then so what?
Though we should probably leave soon, May I take this book with us?"
Sam - Where are we going?
Teki - Don't know, But we will soon enough. Can you turn around?
She did, and he pressed a button on her round turtle-like shell of
her back. Placing the book inside of the winge spread cavity where
her spine should be then jumping, transforming back into the black
cat she had first seen the night before. Hitting a button inside of
her with his paw, the wings closed, and they jumped. There was an
explosion that shook the glass but didn't break the windows. They
were floating in electricity and darkness coming out the other side,
like being shot towards a tunnel with a cannon.
